I think that the Satanic Panic scares may be starting up again. There seems to be more in the news about Satanism and with the Satanists wanting to put up statues in parks and holding black masses, people are beginning to imagine things like that again.

It was a big mistake taking home economics out of schools. When I was in high school, girls had to learn to do practical things like cook, sew, learn about different cuts of meat, garden, learn how to budget, and other practical things that everyone needs to know. I have a niece in her 20s who graduated from Florida State University and she doesn't even know how to cut up a chicken. We had a barbecue and I bought whole chickens because they're a lot cheaper than the already cut pieces and when I asked her to help cut up the chickens, she looked at me like I was crazy.

I wonder if there's enough vegetation to support an animal of that size in the wild today?

His mother and others are probably exaggerating a lot of it, but he's just 4 years old, so I doubt that he read or saw something on TV that he's re-enacting. I believe in reincarnation and I've heard of other cases something like this, but as the child gets older, they forget about it and begin to act normal. Could it be that a person's past life is more a part of them when they're first born and then they grow into the new person they're going to be?

I'm sorry for the belated congratulations, Jason. I liked your poem, but as soon as I read it, I knew that it wasn't written by a vampire fan and I know that you think that women who are attracted to vampires are weird.

I seem to remember that we discussed the different suspects in one of our old groups and that we might have even had a poll about which one we thought was Jack the Ripper, but I could be wrong about that, it could have been some other Yahoo group that I was in. I think that all of my old Yahoo groups have either been deleted or abandoned now. I’d like to see a list of the suspects, a description of why they were suspects and see what everyone thinks.

I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that many people who call themselves Wiccans and pagans aren't very well educated and don't understand what they read. There was nothing in that article to get all in a tizzy about.

When we went on our trip to England in 2009, we went on the Jack the Ripper tour and saw the place where Mary Kelly was murdered. I don't think that it's the same building, but the tour guide told us that it the arched doorway was the very one that Mary Kelly and her killer walked through that night.

Thanks for posting these photos. People of all ages enjoyed Halloween more back when they didn't have to worry about their costumes offending some race or group.

In some places, they still x-ray Halloween candy. If someone is going to tamper with candy,they don't have to wait until Halloween to do it and as it said in the article, those tampering cases turned out to be something else, except for the man who poisoned his own children's candy. I never worried about the candy my son got when he was trick-or-treating age.

That first mausoleum is beautiful. If I'm ever in New York, I'm going to try to visit that cemetery.

Jason, how did you get Kitty's quote to appear like that?

I listened to the audio and I didn't hear anything like what the person doing the recording said he heard. I also can't understand why anyone would think that the dead would speak by making garbled sounds when there are many cases of the dead speaking clearly.
If someone in the group is into EVP, I'd like for them to explain why they don't think that a ghost could speak clearly if they wanted to communicate with the living.

Last summer when our ladies went on their Dark Shadows vacation, they said that they visited some people who lived at a lighthouse, so if there's a keeper's house, they must be allowed to live on the premises.

In the murder of Liz, there's something about a gaslight, which would have given some light, but the other woman, Kate, was killed in a place that was so dark that the man who found her had to use the handle of his whip to stick in the ground to find out if anything was blocking the way. A policeman carrying a lantern wouldn't attract attention and in a place where there were prostitutes and their customers out in the open at all hours of the night, I doubt that people would have noticed very much of what was going on.
